Need answer to something very specific
Im new into switch modding so please excuse my dumb question.
I have a legitimate digital copy of Hollow Knight that i bought on my unmodded switch.
Before giving it to a guy who modded it for me, i have moved all the game data from the system memory to the SD card (not the one used for the modding! I was afraid that the guy would factory reset my console and i would lose my saves, so i wanted to have them somewhere)
After modding it, I have decided to install a clean version of the game on my emuMMC (did not want to switch between OFW and emuMMC just to play a game). I was ready to lose all my saves and start again, but to my surprise, all my saves are still there.
Should I be worried that I did not lose my saves?
Nintendo servers are obviously blocked (checked many times just to be sure). How did this happen? Can someone explain the science behind it?
